Friendly Ghosts we met along the way.
Point of reference to find the way home again |
Old Town of Quebec
I swore they had someone ready to jump out at us ! |
Where the cats and dogs come when it's raining
Many Murders, Executions and removal of body parts or torture
Our Friendly Ghost
We were left to wander the streets on our own after our ghost disappeared.
Beautiful back alleys lit up at night
View of the Le Grand Hotel after dark
Look who i found trying to warm up
My Favorite photo |
Parliament Building Lit up |
New Barracks of Quebec city - still actively used
The Grand Plan
Walking Entrance from within the safe walls of the city
Original Master Plan drawn by the engineer |
New Barracks Design - Never Defeated |
So, Once inside the ultra safe main walk in entrance. We were faced with a series of trenches to walk up. As the enemy, Thinking that you have just over run the main city, thinking that you could just walk in to this. Think again.
Surprise, 1 hidden cannon in your direction.
Now the Main Gates to the inner fortress within a fortress. If you mess up here, you will have 6 cannons now facing your direction. Theses cannons are strictly used for the inner trenches for defense.
The other 3 cannons in this open courtyard
Exterior Cannons - This big guy can throw a heavy ball over 5km away.
To give you an idea, There is a factory on the other side of this river. This is 2.5km away.
Pure Fire Power |
Inside barrack walls
The Clock. Moved up and down Manually using ropes and pulleys moving this ball. Everyone inside the walls and on the docks could see what time it was, so there was no excuse for missing the departing ships.
Munitions Building. Ceiling is vented to allow any explosions to travel upwards not outwards, destroying the barracks.
An example of what they had to fire at you from within the walls.
Prison On Site |
Collection of Canadian/French Military battle groups and regiments.
